OUR SCOPE OF AUTHORITY
Pursuant to OM Decree 40/1999.(X. 8.), no investigation
will be launched where:
complaint is not related to educational rights, or was filed by an entity
other than those eligible, or if an application was filed before the expiry
of a deadline but the applicant failed to take all available actions for
legal remedy (except for judicial proceedings), or if judicial proceedings
were initiated, or a final judicial decision was reached in connection
with the case, if the Commissioner for Educational Rights has already
proceeded in connection with the case and the application does not contain
any new facts or circumstances, or if the infringement of rights specified
in the application is of minor importance.
In all other instances, we shall determine our scope of authority and
shall initiate proceedings. The data below represent the distribution
of our cases closed by December 31st, 2001.
